I really like the JDorama site, and I wish there was one just like it for Korean dramas. I like the Top 50 Dramas and Artists features. Because of this, I want to start a thread where people cast their votes for their favorite Korean dramas. If this works, and a lot of people respond, I'll keep on updating this first post, so we can come up with a Top 30. I picked just 30 because there aren't as many Korean dramas as Jdoramas. I would also like to request the mods to please not merge this with the Korean Drama Recommendations thread, since this is a list of votes made by ppl of their most favorite Korean dramas. I'm really curious as to how this list will look like.

OK!

i admire your courage. i actually think this is going to be rather difficult to implement w/o an automatic voting system. are you sure this is not in any other korean drama forum(s)?

in any case, someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe jdorama's system is based on one vote as the most favorite drama. therefore, you may want to put a number in parenthesis next to each of the nominated dramas.

the other suggestion i have is to have each member vote/post ONCE for the BEST kdrama (in his/her opinion). this way, you won't need to tally 2nd and 3rd place votes. it's just my suggestion.

i will be reserving my vote until i have watched enough kdramas....

Use THUMBS UP/DOWN buttons to KEEP or DELETE posts.
If you see SPAM or ABUSE, use the REPORT button.

the top list at jdorama.com reflects only which drama is the most known and most liked among the users. It doesn't reflect the quality of the listed dramas. Also lists with all-time top tv-ratings don't tell us much. Lot's of good dramas are not in this list (for obvious reasons). I rather trust the download statistics. (lots of downloads = good drama)

If you really want to create a toplist you need to provide something countable. For example you have to name your N most favourite dramas and give them points from N to 1. Then somebody has to add the points.

edit: just added some links.

list all users with the dramas they recommended in all those recommendation threads (to avoid double countings). Then give every recommeded drama 1 point and sum that up. Make a list with the dramas sorted by points.

The easiest way would be probably if you make a spreadsheet of that data. (e.g. with Excel.. make a big table with dramas on the x-axis and users on the y-axis... in each user row you enter 0 (default) or 1 point if recommended... let Excel sum up the columns... or something similar. I've never worked with Excel)

1. Always read FAQs for a given forum before posting.
2. Read the first few posts in a topic before posting.
3. Speak using complete English words.
4. The Internet is international. Respect regional and cultural values.

Hey guys, I did this using groink’s system, which I really like. I’m sure this isn’t completely accurate, but you can definitely get the gist of it. I based this on the Korean drama recommendations thread.

It’s crazy that Full House is no. 1. I mean, it’s a good drama, but definitely not good enough, in my opinion, to be in the top spot. Also, Lovers in Paris? That high? Then again, this is only based on recommendations and not an official top list, so the results might be different. Anyways, here are the rest in case anyone’s interested:

Wonderful Life - 4
Hotelier - 4

Phoenix - 3
Spring Day – 3

Delicious Proposal - 2
Love Letter – 2
Loveholic – 2
Resurrection – 2

I didn’t include the ones with just one vote.

I was still hoping for a Top 30 list, like the one I first proposed, but if people don’t vote, then that’s completely fine with me… less work for me definitely. However, if you’re not satisfied with how this list looks and still wanna vote, then simply type in your most favorite dramas, the ones that, in your opinion, belong to a whole different mold from the rest. I’ll count them using the same system and display the results on my first post. Laterz amigos.

I think this is kindof unfair to see top 30 dramas, period. I'm Korean so my mom watches nearly any of the famous dramas from like, years ago, but most people have only seen a few, and the few that they see are the ones recommended them to other people, aka, the ones poular on this site. There are lots of dramas I liked that never really got english subs and/or uploaded here, so they'd be heavily overlooked, simply cuz people don't have access to them. And that's of no fault of anyone, but just a point I thought I'd make.

That said, if people will vote, I'd be willing to throw in a list of my favorite dramas, but right now, my roommate is pulling me away to watch the new trailer of Harry Potter. :)
